Louis MacNeice - Sunday Morning

0 Hi i have an essay to write on Louis Macneice's - Sunday Morning. I was wondering if anybody could help me analyse it as i have a very hard time reading and understanding poetry. Any help would be amazing - meaning, use of enjambment, causuras, repetition, aliteration, assonance, etc. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out.02br

00Louis MacNeice - Sunday Morning02br
02br
00Down the road someone is practising scales,02br
00The notes like little fishes vanish with a wink of tails,02br
00Man's heart expands to tinker with his car02br
00For this is Sunday morning, Fate's great bazaar,02br
00Regard these means as ends, concentrate on this Now,02br
02br
00And you may grow to music or drive beyond Hindhead anyhow,02br
00Take corners on two wheels until you go so fast02br
00That you can clutch a fringe or two of the windy past,02br
00That you can abstract this day and make it to the week of time02br
00A small eternity, a sonnet self-contained in rhyme.02br
02br
00But listen, up the road, something gulps, the church spire02br
00Open its eight bells out, skulls' mouths which will not tire02br
00To tell how there is no music or movement which secures02br
00Escape from the weekday time. Which deadens and endures.0-

00Well, I think you could at least start by identifying any repetitions, alliteration, assonance, mataphors, similes, etc, that you can find in the poem and listing them here.02br
